It’s a well-established fact that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese lovers are a fanatical lot, hopelessly addicted to their chosen comfort food. So for them (and me), most of the scenarios in this spot should be familiar: Hiding your mac from loved ones (guilty), snorking the last few bites off someone else’s plate while doing the dishes (guilty), interrupting grace for a forkful, ignoring a potential love interest in favor of delicious pasta, destroying your child's macaroni art in the name of cheesy goodness, and finally stealing a truckload of the stuff in a hyperbolic final act not nearly as funny as the rest of the spot.
